In clccting Es- Governor CuShman
X. Davis To the 4. :. senate, the Min
ne-ola legislature have secured u
representative who, for scholarship
professional ability and oratorical
power, has no equal la the Northwest
Though n comparatively young man,
he will he the peer of any man in the
Senate. lie is pledged tn the interests
of Montana and the Northwest, and
We may reasonably expect some valu-
able service from him. One of the
most pleasing features OF this selection
is that Mr. Davis is n man OF only
moderate means. and the election l..
in response to the overwhelming de-
mands of the people and was no,
dictated by the bosses or The million
aires of the party. This nj time
when it is said, with much justice, that
only men OF wealth can get to the
United States Senate. IT, n most
encouraging circumstance.

Senator Gibson has done more for
Louisiana than S. ID. McEnery and 4. A.
Burke combined. yet the Ring has placed
his name on the table Of prescription,
and, no doubt promised to elect Mr.. Jonas
the pereginating and perambulating
Collector of the Port, Senator in Misplace.
Mr.. Jonas should have remained in his
Office, at his post Of duty, instead Of be-
coming a political tramp at the bidding
Of the Ring, which is poisoning the
blood and corruptiug the principles Of
the Democratic party. Overweening
ambition has hurried Mr.. Jonas into
political suicide, and the best thing his
friends can now do for him, is to give
him speedy burial before his political
body become putrescent. The Ring is
doomed, and Mr.. Jonas will have to share
its fate. Exit Jonas, weeping wailing
and crashing his teeth.-St. Bernard

The Ouachita Plan of Ari-

The difference between Governor

band right up 10 the stand" which ca,i-
sed the result; white men and cOlOred
men rushed together, sshoOk hands. en-
Draced each other and cried-white and

And 10 McEnery has again ordered
"the band right up to the stand" and
gotten the exhOrters ready and he has
done this not In Logtown but at Monroe
where he waved the shirt Of the bloody
African from the stump but short time
ago and laid down the sound tenets Of the
true and tried democracy.
The White Camelia has disappeared
from his coat front and the color line has

met last Saturday, and though challen-
ged by majority Of the white voters Of
the parish to submit the decision Of the
issues in this contest to vote Of the
white people at primaries In each ward.
refused to stand on the color line. Pc
titions were presented signed by 475
white voters out Of q total Democratic
vote Of 973, asking that McEnery go be-
fore the Caucasian race In his own par
fish for q vindicatiOn Of his course. and
1t was refused. The story Is told In our
Geographic c0lumns.
Not only was this petition to have
tAewhite Democrats Of Ouachita decide
on Governor MeEnery's claims unheeded
but the chairman of the Executive Com.
mittee proceeded tOmake up committee
out Of whole cloth. The administration
lists have roundly abused the Caddo Chair
Tor spPOiating a secretary and putting
on the Fell one man who had been recOg-
nized in the committee according to the
printed official proceedings. But the
Ouachita plan consists of making up a
committee through wholesale appoint
ment by the chairman of persons who
were never elected and never participa-
ted In any previous proceedings Of the
body.
The "swssback, all wool and a yard
